Instructions

  with aluminum foil.
• 2 Tip: If you turn the baking pan over and fold the aluminum foil over the outside
  of the pan first, it will nicely go right into place without a lot of creases.

  butter, brown sugar, flour, and salt until coars crumbs form. Pour mixture into
  prepared pan; press firmly into the bottom.
